The Zuiderpark is a city park in the Rotterdam neighbourhood of Charlois.

With 215 hectares, it is the largest city park in the Netherlands.^[1][2] The park is located between the pre-war neighbourhood of Carnisserbuurt and the post-war neighbourhoods of Zuidwijk and Pendrecht. The park was laid out from 1952 as a utilitarian rather than an ornamental park. The park has several allotment complexes and hosts several Rotterdam football clubs. Several pop festivals have also been held there over the years.^[3]

In 2006, the park was greatly renovated. A number of allotments and many trees disappeared in the process. New water features were created for additional water storage capacity.^{[citation needed]}

On the north side of the Zuiderpark is Ahoy Rotterdam, where fairs, pop concerts and sports events are held.^{[citation needed]}
